Instructions

Perform this workout as a Tabata, meaning 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. Complete 8 rounds for each exercise before moving to the next. Focus on maintaining proper form throughout each exercise, even as fatigue sets in. The main workout and finisher combined should take approximately 24 minutes.

Tips

Maximize your calorie burn by pushing yourself during the 20-second work intervals. Aim for as many quality repetitions as possible without sacrificing technique.

Listen to your body. If you need to scale back, perform fewer repetitions or take slightly longer rest periods. Conversely, if you feel strong, increase your intensity.

Stay hydrated throughout the workout. Have water readily available and take small sips during rest periods.
